ICD-9 CM / ICD-10 CM Differences There are two books for ICD-10 CM ICD-10 CM - Diagnosis coding system, format similar to ICD-9 CM ICD-10 PCS - Procedure classification system, ONLY for inpatient hospital settings Already being used around the world. The first being used in 1995 ICD-9 CM: Doesn t provide the necessary detail of the patients medical condition 3-5 digits First digit is alpha E, V or numeric Digits 2-5 are numeric ICD-10 CM: Incorporates much greater specificity to diagnosing patients 3-7 digits Digit 1 is always alpha Digits 2 and 3 are numeric Digits 4-7 are alpha or numeric (alpha digits are not case sensitive)

Patagonia Health Billing Reports Use Diagnosis Code Version All will run all diagnosis versions 9 will only show ICD-9 CM codes 0 will only show ICD-10 CM codes Billing Reports will default to diagnosis used on the claim

Clinical Documentation Impacts Onset of Care Anatomical site specificity Laterality Disease severity Etiology and Manifestation Complications Combination Codes Non-specific/unspecified

Immunizations Documentation Only one Immunization code: Z23 Type of vaccine identified by the CPT or HCPCS code Vaccine specific documentation still required Report only code Z23 for an encounter involving immunization regardless of the type or number of vaccines

Immunizations Documentation Influenza and Pneumonia coding simplified: Two ICD-9 codes V04.81 - influenza vaccine alone V06.6 if you provide both the influenza vaccine and the pneumonia vaccine on the same date One ICD-10 CM code Z23 - regardless of how many or what types of vaccines are administered If a vaccination is not carried out, note the reason such as: Compromised condition of patient Patient refusal Parent/caregiver refusal

Well Child Visits Documentation Increased Specificity ICD-10 will improve the quality of data collection for well child exams, early screening, and the detection of childhood illnesses. When documenting well child exams and screenings include the following: Child s age: in days, months or years Exam type: e.g. well child exam, hearing screens, sports physicals, school physical, etc. Findings: normal vs abnormal findings, as the codes vary depending on results Coding ICD-10 Code Examples: Z00.110 Newborn check under 8 days old Z00.111 Newborn check 8 to 28 days old Z00.121 Encounter for routine child health examination with abnormal findings Z00.129 Encounter for routine child health examination without abnormal findings

Gynecological Documentation Documentation of gynecological conditions is relatively unchanged Vaginitis is further classified as either vaginitis or vulvitis and includes the specification of acute or sub-acute or chronic Delineation of a high risk screening mammogram is not available

Pregnancy / Prenatal Documentation In ICD-10 CM, antepartum encounters are classified by the trimester at the time of the encounter. Hence documentation of trimester is required. Trimester determination is calculated from first day of last menstrual period, and is documented in weeks. Code from category Z3A.-, Weeks of gestation, should be reported to identify week of pregnancy. Z3A.00 Weeks of gestation of pregnancy not specified Z3A.01 Less than 8 weeks of gestation of pregnancy Z3A.08 8 weeks of gestation of pregnancy Z3A.09 9 weeks of gestation of pregnancy ICD-10 allows for the description of pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium as distinct concepts from trimester.

Pregnancy / Prenatal Documentation OB codes in ICD-10 CM start with the letter O and not with the number 0 O99.351 Diseases of the nervous system complicating pregnancy, first trimester O99.352 Diseases of the nervous system complicating the pregnancy, second trimester O26.851 Spotting complicating pregnancy, first trimester O26.852 Spotting complicating pregnancy, second trimester O26.853 Spotting complicating pregnancy, third trimester O26.85 Spotting complicating pregnancy, unspecified trimester

Annual GYN Exam Documentation Be careful when reporting an annual GYN exam Code Z01.4- denotes an encounter for a routine GYN exam, including the following: Encounter for general GYN exam with or without cervical smear Encounter for GYN exam (general) (routine), not otherwise specified Encounter for pelvic exam (annual) (periodic) Coding Examples Z01.411 Encounter for gynecological examination (general) (routine) with abnormal findings Z01.419 Encounter for gynecological examination (general) (routine) without abnormal findings Z01.42 Encounter for cervical smear to confirm findings of recent normal smear following initial abnormal smear Physicians must document whether the exam is with or without abnormal findings, as this affects code assignment Physicians can bill an E/M code in conjunction with the appropriate ICD-10-CM code for this visit, however, only the lab can bill for the cervical smear test itself
